In The Spotlight
Heidi Stone, our President and CEO since 2013, has transformed Mountain Lake Lodge into an award-winning destination. Just over 35 years ago, "Dirty Dancing" showcased our resort and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In 2018, Stone was named Hotelier of the Year, and the lodge earned Hotel of the Year by the Virginia Restaurant, Lodging & Travel Association. Chairman Bob Donovan credits Stone's vision and business acumen for revitalizing the resort, turning it from a neglected outpost into a pristine jewel of the Blue Ridge.
